What is your process?
I draw small thumbnails and make notes, then I find picture references, then I sketch out onto the Bristol board paper with a prisma colored pencil in light purple or blue. Then I ink the page, scan and clean up in Photoshop. I adjust the Levels to make the blacks look more vibrant for printing and I save the file as a flattened Tiff to place in InDesign to layout the pages. Tiff files are for printing. If you’re doing your art on a 9x12 size paper, you will be reducing your pages to a proportionate size for the book. For Dreamwalker I chose 6.5 x 8.5. Make sure that whatever size you decide to draw on, that it will reduce proportionately to the size of book you want.
